so I need another 16 year old or 17 or what ever that climbs in the valley! they need to be able to aid C2 and climb 5.9 confidently! it sure would be nice to climb with someone in highschool too! I want to do NIAD, watkins C2C, NA wall, new dawn, NNL, or what ever else seems cool!!

Not many kids your age have the experience and skillset you have. Hard enough to find them during the summer when they can converge on the valley from all over the country, but to find one locally is a tough ask...even in Calif.

You're probably going to have to find someone who's strong and psysched and train/teach them, or just forget about the age thing and climb with someone who's into the same goals.

Isn't there a gym in SLO? That's where I'd start looking, on a youth team night. Even if you don't find a wall partner, you might find a girlfriend (or boyfriend if that's your thing).

Lots of districts-such as my district, where I teach- are on a modified traditional schedule that give a week or two off in the fall and spring at the end of each quater, and start earlier in the summer. We started at the end of July. Next week I start a two week break.

You should probably set your goals higher than what is in the valley. Most teenagers and 20 something's I know don't want anything to do with those old beaten out climbs that smell of piss and vomit. Most of them want to do something new and unclimbed. Might have to move to South America or Africa, California is so 20th century.
